    You're not going to find a better light-strategy spaceship game on tablet. Don't expect full-on Civilization 6 on tablet, but it's a streamlined sort of Civ focused on tactical starship battles. Map campaign gives structure to the battles, and constant opportunities to upgrade your starship fleet keep you going. Good fun, good polish, great buy.

    It's ok. But not Civ definitely. I previously gave it only 2 but I think it deserves more. It was fun for few days. I hope you like it more. Technically it worked well - no crashes or anything. Good luck. But I am still hoping for deep games for iPad

    The lack of content undermines the feeling of exploring beyond the final frontier and the limp combat is an awkward step back from the elegant Ace Patrol.

    Starships feels like a game damaged by compromise. It wants to be a bite-sized board game experience for a tablet, while at the same time a light strategy game on the PC. In execution, those two conflicting goals rob the game of any drama it might have, and Starships simply lacks the decisive, killing blows that make space operas feel epic.

    Even with its failings, I still think it's a good game that may not live up to the highest standards of Sid Meier's name, but certainly doesn't tarnish it.
